New respect for the F70 standard elliptical coil!

[REVIER]

IBdiggen loves his, I am lucky enough to have this coil and also the small DD sniper and the big 11" DD in my arsenal.
The bulk of the time while learning this thing last year I had the big coil mounted, but I got several hours in with the others too and I love them all.
Late last year for the last few hunts of 2014 I put the standard coil back on because I was spending time at parks with lots of trash including tons of pop tops and the elliptical coil deals with this sort of hated trash easily.
I don't have much problem using the DD coils around these because of the rimming technique I got pretty good at using, but the concentrics are easy and a bit faster at figuring these things out.
Not much hunting the first half of the month due to a deep freeze, and when I finally got out a combination of the trash and frozen ground dictated I keep this one on because major depth is not needed right now.
I really enjoy the great response this coil has, and target separation is excellent and pretty much up there with my other coils and any other detector and coil combo I have ever used in the past.
Depth is not quite as deep as the big DD, but it is plenty deep enough for most of my needs.
In the last 10 days this little coil seems it has something to prove because it found me 3 gold rings in that short span...something that still shocks me when I think about that.
It has earned more swing time so it stays on till this streak goes cold which I hope doesn't happen soon.
I am about to leave to go hunt a 100 year old park where the depth of the big coil could have an advantage, but something tells me the concentric will somehow prove to me that taking it off right now would be a mistake...or at least I hope it does.
All my coils are productive and fun to use but in slightly different ways for different reasons.
Right now this one seems to think it is a premium ride at Disneyworld and who am I to argue with finds like this?

Nice!!!!!!!! Amazing......I knew you were going to be deadly with that F70
AHHHHHH the little 10" beauty. After the second season, several junk rings too shameful to post, some nice old tokens, one of which is from early 1980's Wi. Dells, and several predetermined
multi denomination pocket coin spills, I find I am just not done learning what new capabilities this coil still has to offer. I have developed a style or habit if you will, of raising and lowering the coil to focus
that golf ball sized imaginary tip on different soil layers which is beneficial in exposing masking and layered coin spills. And now Revier with your recent input on findings with the different tone experimentation combined with my raising and lowering fixation I will probably spend most of my next season developing the two together. There are times I want to try a DD coil so badly I can almost taste it but I am so addicted to the discrimination ability of the 10" elliptical I know I would miss it. OH by the way, I now hunt in the nude Yup no coil cover. Lowered my upper ground balance numbers which improved my target ID at greater depths.
I have been offered a great opportunity next season to hunt a Bar property with private beach and cabin rental area 2 generations old as long as digging is kept discrete. Proper identification along with Mudpuppys stabbing style recovery, which I also rely upon from time to time, will go a long way at a site like this. They have a short list of items lost by clients from the past. Should be a great test for me as I know items are actually lost there and what they are. I can hardly wait.
Always good reading your stuff Revier. Did you know pinpointers make great stud finders----------IB
